who's this targeted for?...isn't Nvidia undermining their own technology- DLSS/ray-tracing?...Nvidia should be pushing RTX features and not minimizing them
this feels too close to the price of a 2060, not to mention amd has slipped the price of the vega 56 down to match...
i'm with polynyc2, who is this card for?

On a side note the 1660 seems decent but don't think I'd upgrade from a 1060 to it.
Hmm. This is an interesting contender to upgrade to from a GTX 950 2GB. Shaves off eighty bucks or so on meh-meh implemented ray tracing for a 2060. It'll have to give it a ponder.
AMD has since stated that this was not a price drop and I don't think youll see it on sale again under $300
Instead, AMD’s competitor for the GTX 1660 Ti looks like it will be the Radeon RX Vega 56. The company sent word last night that they are continuing to work with partners to offer lower promotional prices on the card, including a single model that was available for $279, but as of press time has since sold out. Notably, AMD is asserting that this is not a price drop,
well the most popular GPU according to the Steam stats is the GTX 1060...but this doesn't seem like that big of an upgrade over a 1060...if the 1660 (and RTX 2060) had 8GB VRAM it would be a different story
at least 2.5X fasterWould you think this would be better than my 680? I play games like Squad, Arma, Escape from takarov, etc.

This 1660 Ti is right between the 1070 and 1070 Ti in performance levels. It consistently beats out or destroys the RX 590.
As both are priced at $279 retail, I would expect that AMD has to slash prices on the 590 now. As an RX 590 killer, the GTX 1660 Ti is a straight up assassin. I expect the GTX 1660 non-Ti to crush the RX 580 as well based on these numbers.
AMD just put the vega 56 at $279 so I expect they will lower the 590 as well
I see rx590 going for $259 right now, so it's a tiny bit cheaper...
Wow, great deal on the RX590, its much slower, less overclockable, hotter, noiser, and power hungry than the GTX1660Ti, but hey its $20 dlls cheaper.AMD just put the vega 56 at $279 so I expect they will lower the 590 as well

What is not to love about this card? It beats everything in performance/$ except the 'lower midrange' RX580, has amazing perf/power and runs very cool/quiet.
I think people with a GTX1060Ti and below would be served well with this upgrade. 30-50% performance increase for only a 10% price hike is a win in my book. Specially in contrast to the RTX line.I didn't say it wasn't a good card...seems it's targeted towards people with GTX 970 and earlier cards...I can't see anyone with a 1060 and up wanting this

Price is horrible, just get a 1070 used for much cheaper.
That was more of gimmick on AMDs part to try and pretend Vega 56 would be selling at that price. Apparently it was small volume of one model, from one manufacturer:

Check Newegg and the lowest priced Vega 56 in stock is ~$400.
